So now that I don't have any MS Windows and I can't finish reading the 2 MS Windows specific books anymore I started to read this book again.





I started reading this book a while back and only got to chapter 6 and couldn't get the samples to ever compile after I even bought CodeWarrior 9 for MS Windows ($400!! o.O). It was the thought of one day making palm os programs that really got me back into computer stuff. And the past year or so I've strayed from it after realizing I needed to know more C++ and stuff. But now I might be ready for it again ... I hope.

I spent many hours today trying to figure out how to get prc-tools to work on linux >.< I finally gave up and searched linuxpackages.net and got most of what I needed from there (I love that site!) But I still have to get the emu to work on it. (I miss MS Windows already :{ just because the emu and everything installed so easily with no configuring at all...) But I finally got the m68k version of an old gcc to work. I didn't even understand that 10 months ago or so when I was trying to compile stuff with cygwin version. prc-tools is just a patched version of gcc2.95 or something and a resource compiler and debugger. I even signed up for palmpavilion's developer IDs last november or so to make palm apps ^_^' and it took me this long to understand how it works. :(

I like seeing pics in other peoples blogs so because I don't have an amazing developer project to take screen shots of I'm going to post any pic I can take with my verizon phone =)

Now I'm thinking maybe I could try and make a tiny Pet Store Tycoon for palmos!! :) But I think I'll try something simpler first like a stock market game or something. I just can't wait until I'm finally making palmos apps...it's been my dream for almost a year.

Last night I was playing with Tcl and I started reading a great interactive tutorial I found online. I used to know some tcl a while ago but I forgot it. I kinda like how Tk is simple to make GUIs and can be crossplatform and also since I don't have VC++ anymore :/ But in a couple days my wxWidgets book will get here and I hope it's as easy as Tk then I'll never go back to MFC.

My receipt says I can't return software so I don't know what I'll do with this Win XP HE. I don't want to ruin my pcs after I spent all this time reinstalling stuff. But since it won't install on my pcs and it has an activation code and stuff I didn't use at all I might try and eBay it. It cost me $199/+tx so I hope I could get half of that but I doubt it...who the hell wants Win XP Home Edition? :(
